Monsoon Update
With 07U labelled by the BOM moving into the Gulf over the next 4 days, there is also the chance it will head South East into the corner of the Gulf which would shift the convergence to around Townsville and produce one to two days of heavier rain. However, only two of the models are in sync and even at 4 days they are not fully in sync. So it's going to be another slow watch. But time to mow the lawn as next weekend you may not get the chance.
National
Troughs are expected to bring showers and storms to the tropics and central Queensland while drawing heat towards the west coast. Onshore winds will bring some showers to the Queensland and northeast New South Wales coasts. A ridge of high pressure will result in dry conditions elsewhere.
